Free-to-play model compromises integrity of video games

There is something rotten in the state of video games, and if you’ve ever mindlessly tapped away at your touchscreen game only to be confronted with a blurb asking for your money, then you know all about the exploitative business model that is currently compromising the integrity of the gaming medium: Free-to-play games.

...Note that elements of F2P mobile gaming have already begun to seep into mass-market console games such as Battlefield 3 and FIFA 13, with both games offering modes of gameplay that reward the player who spends the most money....

I don't have a problem with the model. I have a problem with the terminology. "Free-to-play" is so misleading, "freemium" (Free + Premium) is a MUCH better term because then you at least know what you're in for from the start.

Warframe bucks the trend. If more games were like Warframe (and developer like Digital Extreme) then the gaming world would be a much better place. DE are head and shoulders above a lot of AAA devs in terms of community interaction and passion for their game.
